These are hilarious. The Alexander Daigle award – Hugh Charles. This award is given to the player that exemplifies a truly high level of skill, speed, and game-breaking ability (in his own mind).

First the positives: The University of Saskatchewan Huskies beat the UBC Thunderbirds making Coach Brian Towris the winningest coach in CIU football. For you American readers, this is a pretty big deal. Brian Towris wins year in and year out with no scholarships and until recently, inferior facilities to almost every other university in Canada.

On the 27th I went to Best Buy to take a look at DSLR’s on sale. I didn’t see any DSLRs but while I was there, I saw that Koodo had dropped their price on Blackberry Curves to $150 and no contract. I had thought about getting a LG Rumor 2 this year but after [...]

This is Wendy and this is what happens when Jordon doesn’t log out of his weblog and leaves me unattended. Since Jordon handles most of our Christmas shopping, I don’t have to spend as much time thinking about Christmas gifts as Jordon does. By far the hardest person to shop for on our Christmas list [...]

Well the Saskatchewan Roughriders found a new way to break my heart. Their usual m.o. is to just be bad all season long and not make the playoffs but losing to the Montreal Alouettes on a last second penalty in the Grey Cup is something new.

CBC is quoting the NDP in saying that a new domed stadium would cost $600 million and I can’t see it as Ford Field only cost $430 million and is twice the projected size but whether or not they are right or wrong, I am not sure a dome stadium is a good idea for [...]
